First College will have science fiction novelist Octavia Butler as a guest speaker this coming spring.
Five of Butler’s novels are in the Patternmaster series; three are in the Xenogenesis series, and there is the single and singular novel, “Kindred.”
Butler’s shorter fiction “Speech Sounds” won the 1984 Hugo award for best short story. Butler’s other book, “Bloodchild,” also won the Hugo award in 1985 as well as the Nebula and Locus awards for best novelette.
Another book of Butler’s “The Evening and the Morning Night” was nominated for a 1988 Hugo award for best novelette. The books are said to be stories of power- adjustment to power, struggle for power, and corruption by power.
